Description

A delicious creamy casserole with chicken, rice, and vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 (10 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups uncooked Minute Rice
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup chopped scallions
  • 3 cups grated cheddar (divided)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375F and move the rack to the middle position.
  2. Add the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth to a bowl and stir together until combined.
  3. Grease a 9×13 casserole dish (I use Pam cooking spray).
  4. To the casserole dish, add the rice, chicken, veggies, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, pepper, scallions, and one cup of the cheddar.
  5. Pour the soup/broth mixture into the casserole dish, toss until everything is coated thoroughly, and smooth in an even layer.
  6. Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil or the lid it came with (important so the rice cooks properly!). Bake for 45 minutes.
  7. Take the casserole dish out of the oven, carefully remove the foil, and top with the remaining cheese. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is nicely melted and the rice is soft and creamy.

Notes
